18 Evidence for National Diabetes Prevention Program The DPP research study showed that participants in a structured lifestyle change program (Lifestyle Intervention) who achieved: Modest weight loss of 5-7 percent 150min per Week of moderate physical activity Were able to: Reduce type 2 diabetes by 58% (71% in those over age 60) Improve blood pressure and lipids (25% reduction in medication use) 10-year f/u shows continued reduction in new cases of type 2 diabetes (34%) Translational studies demonstrated that trained lay health workers are as effective in delivering the lifestyle change program at 1/3 of the cost, while achieving similar results

19 Diabetes Prevention Program Features Year long program 16 weekly group sessions 6-8 monthly follow-up sessions Delivered by trained lifestyle coaches Uses CDC approved curriculum Participants learn healthy lifestyle skills like healthy eating, physical activity, problem solving, stress reduction and coping Offered in community locations YMCAs, Wellness Centers, Churches etc. Group support (8-15 participants per class) Both in-person and virtual options available Adherence to CDC quality standards
